Hello - this is my first post on here and I wonder if anyone can help.
I managed to book a couple of days to visit the northern half of France from 6-8th May. My main mission is to try to see wryneck as I have a mild obsession with the species considering its rather unique character and the sad disappearance of it from the UK.
Could anyone recommend a location anywhere across the northern half of France (including the middle band, so including the Limousin area) where I have a good chance of seeing them? I have looked online and read through part of the Where to Watch Birds in France book. Initially was going to look around Tours / the Loire valley (easy to get to) from Caen, but now wondering if the Burgundy area in the eastern part of the country is more reliable. Any help really appreciated.
Thanks - Justin
